Does version of iPhoto effect printing???

Hi,
Was this using iphoto 6? I ordered books using iphoto 5.0.4. But the dpi was upped in the plist to 300 dpi. So, this should not really effect the printing, the version of iPhoto you are using? I would assume the problems of quality is with the printer Apple is using.
Anyone have any insight on this?

I have ordered books using both iPhoto 5 and the new iPhoto 6. As long as the DPI is set to 300, you will be fine. To check, use the free utility PrefSetter (you can search this site for threads on how to do it).
Good luck!

  • What does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.

    what does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products." I want to buy a photo book and that message keeps popping up.

    TD, LN - You guys make great points and I will take you at your word. Normally, I would not hesitate to update. I have a lot at stake here with a large vacation coming up with a great many new pictures anticipated. I don't know enough to understand what is meant by "verifying my library." Please give me some insight there and I will start the upgrade process tonight! Seriously, I have wanted to do this for some time, but have been scared away by reading too many situations on these forums.
    TD - you have a good sense of humor. I know all versions eventually need to be left to die away. Support is not eternal. I am sure I missed the announcement that certain versions of iPhoto would no longer offer the ability to conveniently make cards, calendars, books, etc. Like the original poster, I was surprised to learn my version did not offer that functionality only by requesting it and getting denied. Sort of frosted me at the time, as you can tell by my original reply here.
    If anyone can help me with the "verifying" question, I'll get off of here and let the original poster have his thread back! 

  • In the old version of iPhoto, I could print pics from the photo tray on my printer.  Is there a way to still do that?  (I haven't found it.)

    My printer does a great jopb of printing on photo paper.  I find with the new version of iPhoto I don't get that choice.  I don't see a place to get that option.  Help!  Thanks

    Yes, bring up the photo you want to print and on the menubar, iPhoto > File > Print... 
    You should see all the selection criteria
    Edit:  hummm  I see your problem now, pulling down the Presets only offers the main tray....

  • I have applied a description to photos in iPhoto.  When I burn the CD, the description is not included.  I used to do this with an older version of iPhoto.  Am I doing something wrong?

    I have been organizing my photos in iPhoto and have written descriptions for them.  In the past, with an older version of iPhoto, I would burn a CD.  When I would put the CD back in my computer, the description would also be on the CD.  Now, I am burning the CD's and there is no record of the description.  This is very important as I want the information stored with the photos, both for my own reference, but also if something would happen to me my family would know who are in the photos and what the occasions were.  Is there some way I can do this?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Ok, sorry!  I created an album with the photos I wanted to burn.  I gave them new titles, sometimes using batch change when appropriate, otherwise individually.  I then clicked on info and in the area labeled description I gave each photo a brief description.  When I was done, I went to Share and clicked on burn.  When prompted I inserted a blank CD-R in my external CD/DVD burner (which I need to use as my internal one has been replaced twice in less than a year and I was sick of spending $150.00 each time).  When it was loaded I clicked the burn button at the bottom of iPhoto.  When it was completed I reinserted it into the external CD/DVD burner/reader to see if it was successful.  The photos all came up with the new title in my iPhoto library.  When I click on info button, there is no description.  The information about the date and place where the photo was taken is there, just not the description that I personally included.
    I have not tried exporting the photos to finder and then burning as they suggest doing if you want the CD to be readable on Windows program, but I never had to do that with my old iPhoto program, so did not know if that would make a difference. 
    I can't think of any other information you might need, but if I missed something let me know and I will try to include it.  Thanks for your interest in helping!

  • How do I print pictures to be 3 by 5 or 2 by 3? I had those choices in the earlier version of iPhoto.

    With the older version of iPhoto there was a pull down menu of sizes to print. I would like to print 3x5 or 2x3 rather than the larger sizes. Is it possible to do this any more? If not is it possible to uninstall this version of iPhoto and go back to the earlier? Thanks

  • I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless i install new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto so negative. Should I install it or steer clear of it??

    I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless I update to new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto are so negative that I am uncomfortable about buying it. Will it be fine or should I steer clear of trouble and accept that i can no longer publish my photos?

    iPhoto '11 is working well.
    The reviews usually only show the comments of people who do not like the changed features.
    To get an idea what to expect, when you upgrade, look at the iPhoto '11 support sites.

  • Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

    Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was  a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

    1. No, you haven't.
    2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
    3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

  • How can I print multiple photos per page?  It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

    How can I print multiple photos per page?  It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

    Do you want to print several different photos per page or multiples of the same photo?
    If you want to print several different photos,select them all at once and press command-P for "Print".  Pick the Custom Layout and adjust the photo size suitably.
    If you want multiples of the same photo, duplicate the photo several times and select all copies at once, then press command-P.

  • I purchased my mac oct 2011 with the latest version of iPhoto, but why am i not able to upgrade to the current version? I'm always asked to log in with the name i used to buy the app. does it mean i have to purchase the update?

    I purchased my mac Sept 2011 with the latest version of iphoto. Every time I try to do an iphoto update I'm always asked to log in with the name I used to purchase the app. Does this mean that I have to purchase the latest update? I thought the updates were free and if it so, how do I actually update iphoto?

    DId you Accept the apps when you bought the Mac? In the App Store go to the Purchases List and press Accept there. Then you'll be able to update. If that's not available then you'll need to contact App Store support.

  • Does Aperture 3 have built in PhotoShare/iCloud capabilities or do I need a newer version of iPhoto as well?  I'm running iPhoto '09 and am to scared to switch to the newer version of iPhoto..?

    Does Aperture 3 have built in PhotoShare/iCloud capabilities or do I need a newer version of iPhoto as well?  I'm running iPhoto '09 and am to scared to switch to the newer version of iPhoto..?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Both Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11 are compatible with Photo Stream. However, note that the most recent iPhoto '11 and Aperture 3 versions use the same library, so your library will be upgraded, and it doesn't mind if you install iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3. That's why I recommend you to make a backup of your iPhoto library before installing Aperture or upgrading iPhoto

  • What version of iPhoto do I need to print a photo book?

    I have an old MacBook I'm using with OSX 10.6.2 and iPhoto 7.  I spent hours putting together a photobook only to be told it printing photo books is not supported in that version. However, iPhoto 9 is not compatible with my OSX. Any lesser version of iPhoto I can get so I can still print my photo book? Any other ideas for getting this printed?

    Print products are only supported for iPhoto '09, version 8.1.x, or iPhoto '11, version 9.x.x.
    If you cannot upgrade to any of these iPhoto version, consider to export your book as PDF and send this PDF to a third-party print service.
    See this support document:  Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support
    iPhoto 8.1.2 will work with your system. You would need to buy an iLife '09 installer DVD from Amazon or eBay, to have a full version of iphoto '09 to update to 8.1.2.

  • Does anyone no a cheaper way to get the newer version of iphoto?

    I tried loading pictures into my new mac... from another mac that already had my pictures..... I got the pictures on and all.... but i got this questioning popup that asked if i wanted to up date the older version of iphoto to match the new version i had (version 11) so i clicked yes. But then, when the owner of that other mac tried to sync the external drive back into their laptop and backup their pictures... it wouldn't do so, because they didn't have iphoto 11.... so what i'm basically asking is... if there was any possible way, besides buying the updated version that costs like 20 dollars, any possible way to change that iphoto to be compatible with the updated version?

    Sorry I have no idea about anything on your mac called "apps". But you can purchase iPhoto 11 on the App Store.

  • Does OS lion come with latest version of Iphoto??

    Soes os lion come with latest version of IPhoto?  Think its 9.2.1

    Lion doesn't come with any version of iPhoto.  iPhoto is either preinstalled on a new mac or purchased from the App store.

  • IMac, iPhoto not printing correctly

    I have an iMac and print to a Canon ip4200 wirelessly. I bought the printer from Apple with my iMac and have tried to print 4x6 photos to the printer but it doesn't print correctly. I went through the print setup in some detail choosing the canon printer, the media (Canon 4x6 photo paper), yet the preview window comes up with red text that it cannot be setup to print like this. I have double-checked the canon manual and the paper is in the tray correctly. What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you

    It's probably a setting in iPhoto that is causing it. I don't know about the later versions of iPhoto as I am still using version 4.03 but if I remember correctly one thing you have to do is to crop the photo to 4 x 6 and then make sure the settings in both iPhoto and your printer match.
    You may have more success asking this question in the iPhoto forum as that is where the real gurus for that application hang out!
